A Nigerian vocational education programme, Summer School, has been named one of three finalists in the 2026 UNESCO-UNEVOC Global Awards for Innovation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training.
The initiative, which provides free vocational and academic learning activities for public secondary school students during long holidays, was selected in the Resourceful Innovation category.
Run by Twim Institute in Oyo State, the programme will compete with an interactive exhibition for innovation and learning in technical education from Brazil and FanikishaHUB, run by Artcom Enterprise in Kenya.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute, Olumide Adeleye, the programme began in 2014 with about 20 students and has since benefited more than 800 young people.
He said the five-to-eight-week programme was designed to help students who had become disengaged from formal education rediscover their abilities through practical and creative activities.
